This device can also be constructed in a manner that allows either leftor right handed hunters and/or competitors to use the device.

Various bow holders have been developed, but not with the easy accessand convenience of this device. The other bow holders are not asconvenient due to their structure. Most bow holders or bow rest do notoffer the capability of holding arrows and a bow on a free standingframe. Nor do they offer the ability to be placed on level or unevenground.

Most have tripod stands that are designed for concrete like floors andwill not set on uneven ground. These bow holders are tipped easily. The“Lazy Man's Stand” is above all better than the previous inventions ofthe same category because of it's stance and durability. The “Lazy Man'sStand” is different by having an attached cylinder for arrows, a rubbercoated handle, an attached and adjustable bow cradle.
